DR Congo stunned Nigeria on penalties to keep their World Cup dreams alive and knock out the Super Eagles in a dramatic play-off final upset.
Frank Onyeka’s deflected opener for Nigeria was cancelled out by a DR Congo equaliser in the first half, with Meschak Elia punishing Wilfried Ndidi’s mistake. DR Congo were the better of the two teams but neither could settle the match in extra time and so it went to penalties.
